Re: Elecraft Net Signal strengths as heard in New Hampshire

Thanks Bill,

    It is nice to know the propagation conditions from the other end. 
During the last month I have been able to reach the opposite coast each
week, on both twenty and forty meters.  The QRP operators do make it a
challenge but my quiet location helps.  I run at 100 watts on my K3 into
a homebrew vertical.  Check ins range from 1.5 watts to 1500 watts so I
have to be quick on the AF gain.  The sun has been a great help by
waking up and repopulating its surface with spots, some of which have
been active.  Noise has been lower too, probably due to the season.

    Enjoy the winter festivals and see you on Sunday,

       73,
